nature are all broken and twist
ed, and the bow is so slack
1t cannot evoke any thing mel
lifiuous. The instrument made for
heaven to play on has been roughly
twanged and struck by influences worldly
and demoniac. o master hand of Christ,
restore this split, and fractured, and de-
spoiled, and unstrung nature until first 1t
shall wall out for our sin and then trill
with divine pardon,
The whole world must also be attuned
I by the same power. A few days ago /
WAS in the Fairbanks Weighing Scale
Mandatory of Vermont. Six hundred
hands, and they have never had strike.
Complete harmony between labor and
capital, the operatives of scores
of years in their beautiful homes
near by the mansions of the msn-
ufacturers, whose invention and Chris
tian behavior made the great enterprise.
So all the world over labor and capital
will be brought into euphoDy. You may
have heard what is called the Anvil Cho-
rus, composed by Verdi, tune played
by hammers, great and small, now with
mighty stroke and now with
heavy stroke, beating great iron anvil.
That is what the world has got to come
to-anvil chorus, yard-stick chorus, shut
tie chorus, troWel chorus, croWbsr cho-
rus, pick-axe chorus, gold-mine chorus,
rail-track chorus, locomotive chorus. II
can be done, and it will be done. So eli
social life will be sttuned by the Gospel
harp. There will be as many
classes in society es now,
! but the classes will not be
regulated by birth, or wealth, or acct
dent, but by the scale Of virtue and be-
nevolence, and people Will be assigned to
their places as coed, or very good, or
most excellent. So, also, commercial
| life will be sttuned, and there will be
twelve in every dozen, and sixteen ounces
in every pound, and apples st the bottom
Of the barrel will be IS sound as those
on the top, and silk goods will not be cot
ton, and sellers wont have 10 charge hon
est people more than the right price be-
cause others will not pay, and goods will
come to you corresponding with the sam
pie by which you purchased them, and
| coffee will not be ChickOried, and sugar
will not be sanded, and milk will not be
chalked, and
ADULTERATI0N OF FOOD
will be states prison offense. Aye, all
things shall be attuned. Elections in
England and the United States will TO
+. more be grand carnival Of defamation
and scurrility, but the elevation OF the
righteous men in a righteous way.
In the sixteenth century the Singers
calIed:the Fischer brothers reached the
lowest bass ever recorded, and the high
est note ever trilled was by La Bastsr-
dells, and Catalini's voice bad q compass
of three and d half octaves; but Christian
ity is more wonderful; for 1t runs all up
and down the greatest heights and the
deepest depths of the worlds necessity,
and it will compass everything and bring
| it In accord with the sopg which the
morning stars sang at the laying Of the
worlds corner stone. All the sacred
music in homes, and concert halls and
churches tenos towards this consumma-
ton. Make it more and more hearty.
Sing il your families. Sing in your places
of business. II we with proper spirit use
these faculties, we are reheersing for the
| skies.
Heaven is to have 8 new song, sn en-
| tirelY new sorg, but should not wonder
! if, IS sometime on earth tune is fash
| toned out OF many tunes, or it is one tune
with the variations, SO some Of the songs
of the redeemed may have playing through
| ing as coming through the great anthem
of the saved, accompanied by harpers
with their harps, and trum-
peters with their trumpets, we
should hear some of the strains Of
Antioch, and Mount Pisgah, and Corona
ton, and Lenox, and ST. Martins, and
Fountain, and Ariel, and Old Hundred
How they would bring to mind the pray
Ing circles, and communion days, and the
Christmas festivals. and the church Wor-
ship in which on earth we mingled
have no idea that when we bid fare
well to earth we are to bid farewell to eli
these grand old gospel b INNS which
melted and raptured our souls for so
many years.
Now, my friends, if sin is discord and
righteousness is harmony, let Us get out
OF the one and enter the other. After our
dreadful civil war was over, and in the
summer OF 1869, great national peace
jubilee was held IN Boston, and as IN elder
of this church had been honored by the Sc
lection of some of his music, to be rem
dered on the occasion, l accompanied
him to the jubilee. Forty thousand peo-
pie sat and stood in the great coliseum
erected for that purpose. Thousands of
wind and stringed instruments. Twelve
thousand trained voices. The MASTER
pieces Of all ages rendered hour after
| hour and day after day-Haudels "Judas
Maccsbaeus," Sphor's "Last Judgment"
| Beethoven's "Mount of Olives" Haydn's

Msyerbeer's Coronation March" rolling
| on and up IN surges that bilioWed against
the heavens. The mighty cadeuces with
in were accompanied on the outside by
the ringing of the bells in the city and
cannon on the commons, in eXlct time
with the music

in full chorus, and sll the batons in full

all the towers Of the city rolled il their
majestic sweetness, and the whole build
